Step 6: Prepare the Printed Statistics

Step 7: Assemble the Wall Art

With a generous amount of Mod Podge, apply a smooth layer of the glue to the wood block using your sponge brush. I placed the glue directly on the wo...

With the birth of my brother’s children, I had a memory lapse of my own children’s statistics when they were born. That was a sad reality as those precious little beings my husband and I created are probably the most important things in our lives.

This is one of those projects that I REALLY wanted to do, and even had it on my own priority list of projects. When a particular challenge came up, I knew it was time to get these baby stats wall art projects done for my kids.

The toughest part of this project was getting the power-point print to fit on the piece of wood I purchased. Fortunately for you I have attached the power point file, links to the types of font I used, and some tips throughout the step-by-step process I took to create these cool stats-art for your own children.

If you’ve got a handle on power point, and your computer savy enough to download new fonts, hopefully this piece of art work will be a cake-walk for you and all you have to do is type in your child’s birth stats and enter the info.
If you don’t know power point well, I’ve tried to make the instructable as clear and simple as possible, BUT, you may run into a snag or two where I assumed that the person reading this knows how to use power point, “enough to get by.”

Either way, I hope you can use this instructable to get your own baby’s birth statistics done.

Great idea! I made it and love it! However I did mine a little different as I wanted mine directly on the wood so I used some image transfer ideas from another ible to arrive at my final result pictured. I also then finished mine up with a couple coats of poly to give it a nice shine and also protect it. Now just to hang it on the wall!

These look amazing! I love them! How's your font addiction? LOL. I have had that addiction in the past - from dafont.com :) I would probably use photoshop with this since I have it. I have never used Mod Podge before - it seems very popular. And I Have a question as I know nothing about doing this sort of thing. Would this also work if there was a printed photo of the kid on the cardstock?
